    Great update thanks, I enjoyed reading it. Good luck with everything ! ETA , why not get this moved to 'build blogs' then it won't slip away out of sight? Just a thought.

    Been there at least 2 months. It's a shame to see it in this state. What happens in situations like this? Can anyone go and raise it and claim it as their own? Just wondering...

    No no no, that's Liverpool, in Blackburn they crash for cash, can't do that if the cars are on bricks.

    I dropped it on a steel plate placed over the cruiser deck. Then manhandled it into a small trailer on the bank and away it went. As said earlier, they are not that heavy really for 3 or 4 people to move. Its the getting them out of the hole they are in that's tough.

    Block and tackle slung around a sturdy overhanging tree branch. Worked for me in the past...

    Which supermarket chain is it that uses stainless trolleys? The ones I found when I needed some were all just shiny coated mild steel. Just curious for future projects....

    It's only really yours that is active. Oldspot recently gave us an update but that was after months. And peppers the wide beam is long inactive .. Don't know what I'm going to read when you finish

    Now if the topic title was that, I would agree with you. As that is not the case, Naughty-cal is right.

    Hiab is the way to go. Contact your local scaffolding companies. I got my boat moved for a couple of hundred pounds by the local scaffolding lorry driver. The hiab drives usually get access to the vehicle on weekends, so long as they top them back up with diesel. So are happy to make abit of extra cash at the weekend... Just my thoughts. Good luck with the launch, I enjoy following your build blog.

    Try your local scrap yard. They will probably cost you next to nothing.

    Or a string line held taught along the length is the easiest solution.

    But as we all know, you just did...

    Not much chance of that if it was on the bottom any length of time. At least it's up now. That's something..

    I'd have read this earlier but I never usually look in "cruise diaries", don't know why I'm here now and why I clicked this one but I did and I enjoyed reading. Thanks.

    I used polycarbonate on my boat doors. It's OK but scratches like nothing. Be careful how you handle it.

    Wood skin is great stuff. Used on my front doors. Brought the colour up really nice, it soaks in like an oil but leaves a varnish like finish on top that won't crack or peel. Wood is fully protected. Been on above a year and still looks like it was done yesterday.

    I do know that the operators at Silsden boats (Drum boats) do give guidance on how to operate the actual lock. They wait until you are at the bottom of Gargrave then drive out to meet you and give instruction, after that you are on your own. I don't know what happens if you head towards Bingley though, as there are lock keepers there to help you through.

    I wasn't talking about people with tinnitus. Just people with headphones. I'm sorry to hear about your condition but I did NOT say people with tinnitus deserve a shock. Anyway that's just my point of view. Of courses there's always someone with a different opinion, I will just leave it there. Sorry if I caused any offence. ETA maybe I should have used 'they' and 'their' instead of 'you' and 'your' to avoid any confusion.

    If you have no headphones in and are aware of your surroundings then you will hear the ting in plenty of time and can step to the side accordingly. The bell is used to avoid the shock. Unless you decide to ignore it by listening to loud music, then you will get the shock that you deserve. As for clearing the dog poop, look before you leap springs to mind.... problem solved
